Senior Product Manager, Buyer Experience – Search iOS

Job Description

Etsy is the global marketplace for unique and creative goods, connecting millions of entrepreneurs with millions of buyers worldwide.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the product strategy for the buyer-facing search experience on Etsy's iOS app
• Partner with ML engineers to translate new search capabilities - including LLMs, embedding-based retrieval, and semantic understanding - into product experiences that improve how buyers find and discover items
• Design and run experiments testing how changes to result presentation, navigation, and refinement affect buyer engagement, conversion, and long-term retention
• Analyze search behavior data to identify gaps between what buyers are looking for and what the search experience delivers
• Collaborate across buyer experience teams to ensure search connects seamlessly to the end-to-end iOS journey
• Set clear goals and a learning agenda for the squad, framing work as hypotheses to validate rather than features to ship
• Communicate strategy and results to leadership, including learnings, experiments killed, and what's being scaled

Requirements

• 5-7 years of experience in consumer product management with a track record of owning product strategy and delivering measurable outcomes
• Experience working with search, discovery, recommendations, or retrieval systems
• Understanding of the interplay between query understanding, ranking, and result presentation
• Comfort partnering with ML and engineering teams on technically complex products
• Strong experimentation instincts - ability to design experiments that test mechanisms, not just features
• Clear, structured communication across technical and non-technical stakeholders

Preferred

• Experience in e-commerce, marketplace, or two-sided platform products
• Genuine curiosity about how people find things and make decisions - comfortable thinking about information architecture, cognitive load, and user intent
